The FAA has granted Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia repair station authorization for Gulfstream aircraft. The approval allows the MRO to support its customers in Jeddah and Riyadh with light scheduled maintenance (A checks) on the Gulfstream II, GIII, GIV and GV.

“Large aircraft are preferred by many of our clients flying in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Alain Champonnois, vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia. “This service expansion directly improves our ability to meet the maintenance requirements of our customers while providing assurance of the highest business aviation standards.”

Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia is a long-standing joint-venture company with Saudi Arabian partners and was the first company to set up an FBO in Saudi Arabia. The company has operated FBOs in Jeddah since 1979, Riyadh since 1983 and Medina since 2012. The facilities in Jeddah and Riyadh hold Saudi Arabian GACA licenses and offer FBO services, line maintenance and AOG services to private, business and military operators. Jet Aviation’s ground handling services at Medina include passenger handling, immigration and customs clearance, transportation, hotel and catering coordination, aircraft refueling, cleaning and turnaround assistance.
